Significant left main (LM) stenosis is associated with a poor prognosis, therefore, adequate judgement of the prognostic significance of LM stenosis is essential to improve patients' prognosis. Recently, fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become widespread practice and carries a Class Ia recommendation to assess functional significance of intermediate coronary stenosis in patients with stable angina. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived minimum lumen area (MLA) represents an accurate measure to determine LM significance as shown in multiple studies, while optical coherence tomography (OCT) ,which is a novel intracoronary imaging method with a greater spatial resolution (15μm vs. 100μm), faster image acquisition and facilitated image interpretation, OCT derived-MLA has never been validated against FFR and accordingly, it is not mentioned in the current guidelines for myocardial revascul
